Ecclesiastes 8:16-9:2 - When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe man's labor on earth—his eyes not seeing sleep day or night-then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all his efforts to search it out, man cannot discover its meaning. Even if a wise man claims he knows, he cannot really comprehend it. So I reflected on all this and concluded that the righteous and the wise and what they do are in God's hands, but no man knows whether love or hate awaits him. All share a common destiny—the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. As it is with the good man, so with the sinner; as it is with those who take oaths, so with those who are afraid to take them.
Ecclesiastes 3:20 - All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return.
Application:
· Do I comprehend all that God has done?
· Do I know whether my future will be good or bad?
· Is my conviction that God ultimately will see justice done?
· Is my observable destination a return to dust? What is my eternal destination?
